IHG, 4 star Hotels in Pathumwan

No complaints about hotel room or staff. Pool area not very inviting but we hadn't intended to use it much anyway as visiting Bangkok us not a "pool" holiday! Be aware, don't take the "bus tours" but instead get a private tour for your party to sightsee. We booked a tour to a River Kwai, elephant village etc. nice places, but the tour company wasted hours (and I mean hours!) of time picking up other people. We changed buses so often that in the end we had a driver who didn't even know where our hotel was to return us back safely, we ended up having to get out, walk and find a train station and make our own way back, not good in a strange city for two women on their own at night. However as we had booked it through the hotel, when we complained to the duty manager she instantly made sure we were not charged for the tour and gave us our dinner in the hotel restaurant free that evening (we had been away for 14 hours with just lunch provided at the River Kwai, a small bowl of rice/chicken, so be prepared and take snacks if you do these trips!). Couldn't recommend the restaurant in the hotel highly enough - Charm Thai. Food superb.
